520    An investigation of the evidence for links between Dracula
       and Jack the Ripper, containing original research and 
       previously unpublished and rare materials/illustrations—as
       well as an evocative exploration of the theater and 
       esoteric scene in 1880s LondonSince its publication in 
       1897, there have been suggestions that the fictional 
       exploits of Dracula were more closely associated with Jack
       the Ripper than a Transylvanian Count. Historian Neil 
       Storey provides the first British-based investigation of 
       the sources used by Stoker and paints an evocative 
       portrait of Stoker, his influences, friends, and the 
       London he knew in the late 19th century. Among Stoker's 
       group of friends, however, were dark shadows. Storey 
       explores how Stoker created Dracula out of the climate of 
       fear that surrounded the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. 
       Add to this potent combination the notion that Stoker may 
       have known Jack the Ripper personally and hidden the clues
       to this terrible knowledge in his book. The premise is 
       seductive and connects some of the giants of stage and 
       literature of late Victorian Britain. Having gained 
       unprecedented access to the unique archive of one of 
       Stoker's most respected friends and the dedicatee of 
       Dracula, Storey sheds new light on both Stoker and Dracula,
       and reveals startling new insights into the links between 
       Stoker's creation and the most infamous murderer of all 
       time.
